2.3 and 5.0 stangs = same t5?

[mobileaudio219]

or am I reading that totally wrong? I thought the 2.3 stangs had the mazda trannys like the 2.3 rangers? plus the bellhousing is different, no? whats are this talk about them being interchangable?

there a T5 the difference is the input shaft diameter is smaller and the transmission can only hold up to 220 torque. You can use it if you buy a pilot bushing to make it work but I wouldn't recomend it. It wouldn't last too long behind a 5.0.

A T5 is a weak transmission to begin with so atleast use the stronger version.

I busted up the T5 in my stock '93 S10 with a 2.8 v6. All 125 hp of it was enough to bust up third gear.
